macOS 14 Sonoma Public Beta is Now Available

[UtterDisbelief]

Yes quite true, I don't know the technical ins and outs of that situation but aren't those Macs have the Combo Cards soldered onto the board? I don't know why the marginal difference that should/would make oppose to say a Fenvi or any other third party card.

Also Apple has dropped the Legacy kext that allowed the third party Cards to work as previous. This is all above my very limited knowledge on the subject but I think Apple won't restore the connectivity in Sonoma as in previous as we are 3-4 Betas in and nothing has changed in that direction.

The current WiFi work around is very limited and is only suited for mobility (Laptop) in my opinion and nothing else. My Fenvi offers excellent B/T but alas no WiFi in Sonoma but on the plus side I have Ethernet connection. I switch to Ventura for the full Apple Experience i.e 'Air Drop' and 'iPhone Camera to Mac' which I use on a daily basis.

At the moment Sonoma offers me nothing new that is earth shattering on my Hack apart from a bit of New OS feeling and Eye Candy and that's it that's where the excitement ends.

I agree.

The rush to Sonoma is fine if a person just likes the thrill of a new challenge, but too many people just want the latest and turn to the community to fix their problems. It all goes pear-shaped if there is no fix and they use their hacks for serious work.

Since I mostly use my Mac Book Pro now, I installed this on my hack. Other then the Wi-Fi issues, it was smooth. I have been using it mostly through screen sharing since I can not use universal control. However, over all it seems very stable. Hope someone works out the Wi-Fi issue I have come very accustom to using the universal control with my MacBook, iPad and hack.

Upgraded to Sonoma using Clover 5153 all went fine. I tested 2 different Wifi cards; none worked so I went back to Ventura. (Did not want to use USB Wifi.) If the Wifi is blocked in the final version, that will suck. Ventura could be the forced end of the road for most users.

Very unlikely that the drivers will be brought back by Apple since none of the computers that had our WiFi chips are supported under Sonoma. Though it might be possible that someone else bring the drivers back though some kind of patching.

Upgrade Ventura to Sonoma Public Beta (OC 0.9.3) without any issues.

Older Broadwell dual Xeon, Sonoma Public Beta, OC 0.9.3, no WiFi card in it as I am using an old router in bridge mode as an access point.

How's the "Apple Experience" with that Intel WiFi? (Continuity/Handoff/Air Drop, etc.)?
